About the Client

Our client is a global fintech operating at the intersection of crypto and traditional payments. It builds products that help people and businesses buy, sell, and exchange cryptocurrency, serving millions of customers across 180+ countries.

This is not an MLRO or transaction-monitoring role; day-to-day AM
